// here & forward

We build AI around how you run.

Two ways we do it: a structured path that starts with your context and grows as you go, or a custom build for something specific you need made. Scoped to how your organization actually works, either way.

Based in Durango, CO. Remote-first. On-site available across Colorado and the Four Corners. We work with clients anywhere in the US.
Two ways we build

A path, or custom.

The path · structured

Foundation → System → Core

Most engagements climb a path. We capture your context as a Foundation, wire AI across the tools your team already uses, then grow toward AI at the center of how you run. Each phase builds on the last, with defined scope and price.

Custom · scoped to you

Something built for you

Got something specific in mind? A workflow worth automating, a tool wired together, an idea you're not sure is even possible. We build it as a custom project, scoped to your organization and priced to the work.

The structured path

From context to operating layer.

Three phases, one path. Start with the Foundation, then grow into the System and the Core as you're ready. Every phase produces plain files your organization owns. They read the same in any AI tool, and they leave with you if you ever walk away. Each phase includes the one before it, so you never pay for the same work twice.

AI Foundation

Your organization written down as plain-language context files an AI can read, with the strategic placements marked for AI connections. We capture brand, people, operations, customers, and tools in plain-language files. Whatever AI tools you already pay for get sharper the moment they have it to read. It comes with complimentary education and user guides on how to put it to work. No wiring in this step. Context first.
from $1,0001–3 weeks
Purpose

The Foundation is the file every System and Core build grows out of, and stands alone if you're not going further yet. Any AI you already pay for (like ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini) gets sharper the moment it has your Foundation to read.

What you walk away with

Your Foundation, in five plain-language layers:

  • Brand — how you sound, what you stand for, the words you do and don't use
  • People — your team, their roles, what each one actually does day-to-day
  • Operations — the workflows that run the business, including the ones nobody's written down
  • Customers — who they are, what they care about, the patterns in how they buy
  • Tools & files — the systems and documents your organization already lives inside

Plus a short team session on how to use the Foundation with the AI tools you already have. Yours to keep — portable, no lock-in. No connectors, no tool wiring, no integrations in this step — that's what the AI System is for.

AI System

Take the Foundation live. Connectors wire your real data into strategic AI placements across departments. Each team gets its own AI reading from the same context, and the recurring workflows get codified. Includes the Foundation engagement.
from $4,0003–6 weeks
Purpose

Your Foundation, in production. Each department's tools read from the same source and the recurring work runs on rails, so the business operates on one shared context instead of scattered point solutions. The second layer of the Build, and the groundwork the Core grows from.

What you walk away with
  • AI tool audit — which of your existing tools can be plugged in
  • The full AI Foundation
  • Connectors & data wires — CRM, drive, comms, calendar plugged into the AI
  • Per-department AI configs reading from the same Foundation (sales, marketing, ops, customer service)
  • Knowledge bases live — your docs indexed and searchable through the AI
  • Cross-team training — so it actually gets used

The Core beta

AI at the center of how the whole business runs. The System connects strategic AI placements across departments. The Core collapses them into one intelligence with persistent memory and pattern recognition across every team. Everything operating through one core. Includes the full Foundation and System work.
By applicationpilot only
Purpose

Collapse every department's AI into one intelligence the whole business runs through. The Core keeps persistent memory of every correction, hire, and workflow, so what one team learns becomes available to all of them. It includes the full Foundation and System work as its base.

What the Core adds (beyond the System)
  • Persistent organizational memory — institutional knowledge that doesn't walk out the door when someone leaves
  • One intelligence, not N tools — no more “which AI do I ask”; the Core is the answer
  • Cross-departmental pattern recognition — what one team learns becomes available to every team
  • Compound learning — built to get sharper as you correct it, not just smarter per-prompt
  • The operating layer, not a tool — the org runs through it, not alongside it

What keeps a build alive

Moving forward.

As your organization changes (new hires, new offerings, shifted workflows), we stay on to keep your AI current through 1:1 ongoing support, scoped to what you need.
